If you want to hear truly complex rythmic/metric relationships or
superimposition, inventive fiddling with patterns (illusory or real),
fiddling with pulse, you really have to listen to Ligeti's Études for
piano and Nancarrow's player piano studies.

Some of Nancarrow's studies are especially whacked... although less
interesting as musical compositions, to me. Ligeti's Études are
certainly among the greatest works written for the piano in the 20th
century -- and among the great musical works in general too.

If you can read musical notation, try to get ahold of a score, too.
You should find a copy without too much difficulty if you have access
to an university's music library.
